This podcast is about celebrating everything truly crazy and ridiculously awesome about the Warhammer 40k universe. If you like roleplaying games, listen to us try to survive our inquisitor's missions in Dark Heresy. If you enjoy wargaming, we recap our biggest and often hilarious missteps from the miniature wargame, Warhammer 40,000. And of course, if you ever wanted to attend a Wych Arena in Commorragh, we've got you covered with 40k Arena. No matter what, if you love the grim dark, this is the podcast for you.
We've got seizes to share, lists to plan, and a grim dark sunset to ride off into. It's our show's finale! Thank you to everyone who has supported us over these 5 years and listened each month to our terrible mistakes and mostly ridiculous lists. You've all been amazing. Till next time...
A big announcement this episode as we reveal this being our second to last episode for Roll to Seize. We get into some seizes of the month and talk about how the FAQ has impacted list-building across the board.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Budget your psychic power CP!
Andrew: Our first "universal seize" about knowing when to go all in on an army
Crystal Stacks:
Jay and Andrew run through various armies and how the new FAQ unlocked a lot of cool ways you could craft lists and which armies benefited the most from it.
While we wait for the big FAQ, we're back with another episode and Jay and Andrew are still screwing up. In our Crystal Stacks segment, the boys test how stealthy an entire mechanized GSC force can be! Seizes of the Month: Jay: It's important to read the fine print of a tournament pack...so maybe...do that! Andrew: Be sure to budget those command points! Crystal Stacks: Jay and Andrew apply the rule of cool to a Genestealer Cult list and answer the questions, can you go full Goliath and win? The answer... may surprise you.

We're back from holy Terra and fresh off of LVO 2019! Do we have a ton of seizes? You bet. Are they all our fault? Of course. Will we learn? Find out! Also, we take some time at the end to talk about the new lists and new factions we'll be taking on in 2019! Seizes of the Month: Jay: If you can kill a Castellan....do it! Andrew: Turns out, LVO wasn't 100% Custodes bikes Hall B-9 Magic! (we are so very lost): Jay and Andrew take a look at the new factions and lists they'll be working on in the coming months. Both include a lot more conversions than you'd expect!
It's that special time of year, when Jay and Andrew not only discuss their faults from previous tournaments, but more importantly, mentally and physically (like push ups maybe?) prepare for the Las Vegas Open, the biggest Warhammer 40k tournament in the world. So come with us on this magical journey as we explore this tournament's biggest threats and discuss what lists we're bringing to take them down.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Don't be overly aggressive towards -2 to hit flyers...it doesn't end well
Andrew: Don't switch armies last minute...definitely don't do it like 3 times in a row

Jay and Andrew dive deep into their list building process and share their two LVO lists. Will they be successful? Can they make the top 8 (probably not)? Find out next month!
Chapter Approved and Vigilus have dropped and the changes are pretty great, meanwhile, Jay and Andrew continue to miss the mark at their local tournament. In the Brown Library, Andrew goes full Primaris!

Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Despite their size, a grot is a surprisingly good blocker.
Andrew: Don't put your shooty units near their stabby units.

Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Necron tesla certainly can be quite....shocking!
Andrew: Putting all your eggs in one basket is bad, but setting that basket on fire is worse
Brown Library:
To celebrate Halloween we thought, what's scarier than an army of literal werewolves? Not much it turns out, especially when you've got a million auras to buff you beyond comprehension! Needless to say, the pups of Russ are in full force in this month's list.
Thriller Horde:
Space Wolves Battalion
Space Wolves Outrider
TOTAL: 1998
It's experimental month here at Roll to Seize as Jay and Andrew recount their wild lists and how they screwed up at last month's tournament. In our Brown Library segment, our boys look at the CP battery faction and ask, can it be more and the answer is... yes, obviously.

Jay: Khorne does not care from where the blood flows... remember that
Andrew: Creating your own kill box is not a great strategy

Its been a weird month and for some reason, both Andrew and Jay were unable to navigate the shifting pathways of the webway to make it to this previous month's tournament. Is it possible they still found plenty of ways to make mistakes? Absolutely! In the Brown Library, we've gotten a listener request to focus on one specific unit, which perfectly coincides with a recently dropped codex!

Jay: Never go half clown!
Andrew: It's OK to bring bolters now! We promise!

Games Workshop has released their biggest FAQ to date making this, essentially, Edition 8.5. We talk a lot about the changes, but of course, we give plenty of time to discuss our many mistakes in the local tournament scene. In the Brown Library, we pull a switcheroo and Jay's crafted a list, courtesy of the insane Necron tactician, Nemesor Zahndrekh.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: The Drukhari are BACK and boy oh boy are they tough.
Andrew: If a knight has a 3+ Invulnerable...maybe shoot at something else.
Brown Library:
Jay and Andrew delve into the history and tactics of the Necrons' greatest bromance, Nemesor Zahndrekh and Vargard Obyron. This insane general and best pal have been waiting a long time for the opportunity to strike, and with this FAQ, they just might have it.

Games Workshop has just dropped a ton of new sneak peaks as well as two hot new codexes. We dive in and try to forget the mistakes we continue to make at our monthly tournament. In the Brown Library, we put the fury back in the classic list and get Tau ready for 8th Edition.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Heroic intervention is a thing...and it can really screw up your tricky combat plans
Andrew: If you've got one lynchpin in your army...maybe hide that lynchpin
Brown Library:
Jay and Andrew take a long look at 8th Edition Tau, drop the riptides, and dig in on some surprisingly strong units. And sure, there are plenty of strong Septs like T'au or Bork'an, but for this month, we make ol' Aun'shi proud and make a strong case for the fast, the deadly, Vior'la. Fish of Fury 2.0 List: Viorla Battalion HQ Aun'shi 60 HQ Coldstar Commander, x4 flamers, Relic: nuke flamer 122 Troops x5 breachers, pulse blasters 35 Troops x5 breachers, pulse blasters 35 Troops x5 breachers, pulse blasters 35 Transport Devilfish, x2 gun drones, burst cannon 112 Transport Devilfish, x2 gun drones, burst cannon 112 Transport Devilfish, x2 gun drones, burst cannon 112 Viorla Battalion HQ Coldstar Commander, x4 fusion blasters, Relic: Onager gauntlet 174 HQ Ethereal, honour blade 45 Troops x5 breachers, pulse blasters 35 Troops x5 breachers, pulse blasters 35 Troops x5 breachers, pulse blasters 35 Fast Attack x5 piranhas, burst cannon, x2 gun drones 350 Fast Attack x5 piranhas, burst cannon, x2 gun drones 350 Fast Attack x5 piranhas, burst cannon, x2 gun drones 350 TOTAL:1997
Exciting releases are just around the corner but to tide things over we think back on our mistakes from this month and cringe. In the Brown Library, we discuss every Eldar's favorite god, Slaanesh. Did we say favorite? Whoops.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Those Tzaangor bird men are a lot tougher than you might think
Andrew: Shadowswords...just don't fight them. The End
Brown Library:
Jay and Andrew dive deep into the new Daemon Codex and craft a list that only the sexiest of sexy gods would approve.

The boys are back from the Las Vegas Open, the world’s largest and arguably most competitive Warhammer 40k tournament and convention. On this special episode, Jay and Andrew won’t be crafting any new lists, but will instead share their thoughts on Games Workshop’s big reveals from the event, their take on the current meta, and of course, how badly they screwed up.
2017 has come and gone and we look back on the way things were and what's still to come in 2018, but one thing that never changes is our poor performance at the local tournament scene. In the Brown Library, we look to the upcoming Las Vegas Open (LVO) and discuss what lists we'll be bringing and how we built them.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: Did I really need to commit my entire army to killing one Primarch....probably not
Andrew: Remembering your wargear is almost as important as remembering your units...
Brown Library:
Jay and Andrew pull back the curtain and discuss their list building process and what their army will look like going into LVO 2018!
The big bugs have arrived and the chapter has been all kinds of approved, but most importantly, we still drop the ball at the local tournament scene. In the Brown Library, we pay tribute to the sneakiest vehicle in the Space Marine arsenal.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: A Culexus assassin? What's to worry about? Three of them? No big deal right?....right?
Andrew: Sometimes the bloodlust gets the best of us all....at least that's what Khorne says
Brown Library:
Jay and Andrew take a fan request to make the unseen Whirlwind the badass of the ball, but do we succeed? Is G Man probably in this list? Yes.....to both!
With 40k Arena being pushed to next week due to us being trapped in Commorragh customs, we decided to record this short episode. We share some exciting news and discuss some of our plans for Roll to Seize in the coming year!!
Per the episode, please send any feedback or comments to rolltoseize@gmail.com

Jay and Andrew have heard the screams of conscripts and fear the coming of the Craftworlders, but still consistently forget how strategy works at their local tournament scene.

Jay and Andrew have returned from their trip to Gen Con and still managed to make plenty of mistakes at this month's tournament. In the Brown Library, we dive deep into a faction that rarely gets the credit it deserves. Let's see what these Xenos hunters have up their sleeve in 8th Edition.

Jay and Andrew have waded through the waters of 8th Edition and find them to be much more fluid than expected and yet they still manage to make plenty of mistakes. In the Brown Library, we deliver our first army list of 8th Edition and as expected, it's not only fluffy, but absolutely ridiculous.

Jay and Andrew say farewell to 7th Edition and get excited for what's to come. To tide them over, they dig into some of the biggest mistakes they made in this month's tournament. In the Brown Library, we give 7th its due with a SUPER formation and some pretty ridiculous entries.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: If you're not mobile and your enemy is, maybe don't deploy so very far away...
Andrew: If you've got a juicy target for flamers, you probably shouldn't bunch up
Brown Library:
Nothing says 7th quite like wacky formations and with the Castellans of the Imperium, we take this to a whole new level.

Jay and Andrew's world is in flux, in more ways than one, and they distract themselves by painfully recalling their mistakes of the past month. In the Brown Library, the new Ynnari show off their love of death metal with a tribute worthy of Ynnead himself.
Seizes of the Month:
Jay: If you can no scatter deep strike, maybe plan it better
Andrew: If you've gotta sacrifice an FMC to win, you could do a lot worse than a Harpy
Brown Library:
The Ynnari are here to rock and they've brought some unlikely aspects along for the ride. Will the swooping hawks and dark reapers prove their metal?

Jay: Comdemnor boltguns + Yncarne = a bad time for Ynnari
Andrew: When outflanking, be sure to know which table edges are which
Brown Library:
